Gear shift makes clicking noise when I brake while car is in DRIVE.

My gear shift has always made the click noise when I brake while in Park - like when I am moving from Park to Drive/Reverse. Recently, my car has started making that same noise every time I brake while I am driving. It clicks if I am stopping abruptly at a light and if I brake just to slow down a few kms, etc.

I have read other forums and they seem to say it is fine - but I think other people are complaining that it clicks when it is in Park. Mine does it while driving.

Is this a sign that it is about to fail?

I think your are talking about the Shift Interlock Solenoid that would be by the shifter. This locks the shifter into park until you step on the brakes. Most of the time a wire will break off, then your screwed, can't shift. So I would have this looked at, wires checked.
